The prospect Of successful termination OF
the labors Of the Fisheries Commission has be-
come very faint. No agreement has been
reached and it is not Likely that anything Will
come of the international conference. There
is still some talk of the possibility OF the re-
vision of the Treaty Of 1915, but ii is not prob
able that Mr. Chamberlain will take much in
tcrcst in so imbecic a proceeding as that. lie
has hoped to be able to negotiate new treaty
out Of hand without reference to existing en-
gagcmcnts. Nothing short Of this result Will
compensate HIM for the trouble he has taken
With the vanishing prospects Of the treaty,
the rank Of his American colleagues steadily
declines. Originally they were appointed as
Commissioners then they were known as
ncgotiators; now they are spoken Of as adj
visory counsel; and in the end they may be
dismissed as mcsscngcr-bOys of the State De-

macy.

Not long ago glowing stories were pubishcd
of magnificent discoveries of enormous masses
of tin ore near Harncys Peak. in Dakota,
and it was predicted that in short time all
the tin used in America would be supplied
within her own borders, and that this country
could furnish the supply of the world. The
Rothschlds, who made immense additions to
their colossal fortunes through their control OF
some of the richest tin mines known, did not
seem greatly alarmed by these sanguinc proph-
ccies. Our readers will regret to learn. from
the information given in another column that
the lofty hopes which were cherished when
the Dakota discoveries were first made public
have been dashed to the ground. 1t seems
that the Dakota ore would be worth working
if the price of tin were maintained at ITS pres
cnt inflated and speculative figures, but the
cost of extracting the small percentage of the
metal from the refractory ore and shipping
It is so great that profit is left at the average
prices in the markets of the world. 1t is much
to be regretted that Americans should be de-
pcndcnt on other countries for their supply of
this important metal. but there seems to be
no help for it at present.

A SINGULAR THEORY.
Why the President Should Never Shake
Hands with an Indian.


| Hands with an Indian.
In speaking with an old army officer
| on the subject of the frequent Indian
outbreaks within the past few years,
he advanced q singular theory, which,
to his mind, at least accounted salts
factorily for much that has heretofore
seemed inexplicable. Said my friend:
''In old times. when it was necessary
to prove the assent to a written con-
tract of persons who could neither
read nor write. this was done by .aflix-
ing their seals. When the Indian
makes contract he does so by word
of mouth, sealing tho contract with
that solemnity which, to redskin,
means all things-he shakes hands
upon it. This is custom with the In
dian which is reserved exclusively to
ratify his contract, and never, as with
us, in salutation. When an occasion
of Importance demands that the
chiefs shall come to Washington,
before starting they represent
to their tribes the business
in hand, and state that they will go
and see the Great Father, with whom
they will enter into treaty. Arrived
in Washington, an interpreter pre-
sents their case to the Presidents who;
in good will to show that he is not
above giving a kind reception to the
humblest man in the country, advances
and proffers his hand. The chiefs are
delighted, and return to their tribes
setting forth that the Great F ather has
acceded to their wishes, because, after
hearing the case, he shook hands with
them. If, after the execution of con-
tract in the presence of witnesses sub
sequently sworn to and recorded, we
should then break it so that suit in
court was the only remedy to the party
injured thereby, the situation would
not be more serious here, while ,the
President shakes hands with an Indian
who afterward does not get or enjoy
what he understood would be given by
that act Of handshaking. All of which
goes to prove, in conclusion, that the
President should never shake hands
with an Indian. - Washington Letter.

Railways and Food.

One of the most momentous, and
what may be called humanitarian, re-
suits of the recent great extension and
cbeapening of the worlds railway sys-
TEN and service, is that there is now
no longer any occasion for the people
of any country indulging in either ex-
cessive hopes or fears as to the results
of any particular harvest inasmuch
as the failure of crops in any one
country is no longer, as it was no later
than twenty years ago, identical
with high prices of grain;
the prices of cereals being
at present regulated, not within any
particular country, but by the COM
bined production and consumption of
all countries made mutually accessible
by railroads and steamships. Hence
it is that, since 1870, years of locally
bad crops in Europe, have generally
witnessed considerably lower prices
than years when the local crops were
good and there was a local surplus for
export Hon David 4. Wells, in

TOM PLATT REPUBLICANS.
The Pitiable Condition Of the Republica
Party of the Empire State.

The Pitiable Condition Of the Republican
Party Of the Empire State.
A study of the Republican party and
its policy in the State for year OF
more past reveals with startling dis
tinctness the power that can be welded
by one bad man in shaping the course
of a party that numbers among its
membership great many men active
in its counsels who are vastly superior
in point of intelligence, integrity and
honor to the winner on the political
checker-board. The fact that this man
occasionally steals man from the
checker-board, and INDUCES in other
discreditable tricks to win does not
seem to imperil his position in the
party or to bring upon him the con-
demnation that his venal course would
seem to demand, These thoughts are
